N2 - In this paper we examine the statistical relationship between citation counts to books referenced in SCOPUS humanities journals and library holding counts ('libcitations') retrieved from WorldCat®. Our focus is on books (with ISBN numbers) published between 2001-2006, which received citations in History and Literature & Literary Theory journals during the period of 2007-2011. A Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used, and our test resulted in significant correlations between the citations and 'libcitations'. We present and discuss the details of our dataset (extracted from a much larger, newly constructed database), and comment on why the 'perceived cultural benefit' of holding a book in a research library can lead to, but may not necessarily lead to use (i.e., a citation) of that book in new humanities research.
